After the first three plays of offense from Alabama on Saturday against Southern Miss, it is hard to argue with Tim Tebow’s assessment of Crimson Tide quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Prior to the Tide’s game with the Golden Eagles, Tebow - an SEC Network analyst and former Heisman Trophy winner at Florida - said no one is playing better than Tagovailoa.

“I think he’s the best player in the country right now,” Tebow said Saturday during SEC Nation . “You look at the efficiency and how effective he was against - not a great team - but a decent South Carolina team. It’s not just that they are scoring, but they are making it look easy.”
